Best home medical book, I've ever owned

This book is a wonderful reference allowing user to look up both symptoms and diseases. I would love to have an updated version in the same format as this one. Please hear us update this book. Thanks.

SYMTOMS:THE COMPLETE HOME MEDICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA

I REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK. IT IS VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGABLE. I WANT TO KNOW IF THEY ARE EVER GOING TO UPGRADE THE BOOK?

Symptoms: The Complete Home Medical Encyclopedia

This is an excellent resource manual. I'm a surgical nurse with 18 years experience and, though my copy is 25 years old, I continue to refer to it often. Its format is exceptional...

very informative and Understandable

I have used this book since 1980. Reference material can be looked up by the symtoms you are having or by the disease. Information has always helped me. When I started having children is was better than Dr. Spocks book. Now 2001, wish he had a recent one with the new medical information out there.

Easy-to-use guide to identifying causes of symptoms

Symptoms is an extremely valuable resource. The format is easy to use, allowing you to work from your specific symptoms to diseases that can cause the symptom. At this point, all symptoms for those diseases are presented to allow you to identify the set of symptoms you are experiencing. From there, you move on to a detailed lay-person's explanation of the disease and its symptoms, treatment, and outlook. I've used Symptoms to prepare questions to ask my physician. I have also been able to better describe my symptoms to the doctor. In one case, I realized that my back pains a week earlier might be related to urinary tract infection symptoms. I would have never thought to tell the doctor if I hadn't checked Symptoms. The only downfall of this book is that it was published in 1976. I would really like to see it updated.
